Costa Rica does not only have an abundance of wildlife,
but it is also rich in color, culture, history,
music, buildings, and people’s faces, which,
when combined all together, makes for a very photogenic
country. This Central American country is rather
small but so rich in biodiversity, that it is fairly
easy to explore the many different climatic zones
and flora and fauna without having to travel great
distances. In the morning you can wake up on the
Atlantic side of the country, rich in Indian and
Caribbean culture. During the day you can drive
across the country and see several volcanoes, and
end your day on the Pacific coast, which, in the
north, is very traditional, and, in the south, is
the wildest of wild.
If you are interested in finding an alternative way
of getting to know this tiny but charming country,
Costa Rica Photosafaris offers eleven day-packages
to photographers of all levels. Some of their in-field
photography courses have been organized by the Organization
for Tropical Studies. As the name suggests, the company
specializes in demonstrating the richness of Costa
Rica through the camera lens, be the photographer
a company guide or a client.
Two nature photographers, Sergio and Juan José
Pucci, father and son, have traveled throughout the
country for over twenty years. They know all the hideaways,
and when to visit them, and they provide personal
guidance to everyone in the group, which is not to
exceed more than fifteen people.
According to the Pucci’s, what really makes
Costa Rican photo safaris different is the diversity
of the country: the photographer doesn’t need
to spend one week to take pictures of one particular
animal. During eleven days in Costa Rica photographers
have the opportunity to photograph at different
altitudes the cloud forests, rain forests, dry forests,
beaches, volcanoes, mangroves, islands – many
of them containing lizards, monkeys, and nesting
places for birds.
